Sex Education’s Asa Butterfield, who grew up in Hackney, is helping raise money for Hackney Foodbank by leading a charity auction at the Mildmay Club this October. Prizes up for grabs include limited edition artwork by Sam Winston, Eva Rothschild and Heretic Studios; dinners at Papi, Behind and Brat; cushions from House of Hackney; Eurostar tickets; gig tickets for EartH and Rough Trade; and a hotel stay at One Hundred Shoreditch.
As well as bidding for those prizes, the evening will also include a sharing menu dinner from Humdingers, stand-up from Angel Comedy, music from DJ Wendy Willow, and Aesop goodie bags. Tickets for the event are £80, you can buy a table for 8 for £600 – each ticket includes a donation to Hackney Foodbank with the auction proceeds also going to the charity.
Speaking about the event Hackney Foodbank organiser Sally Newsom said: “Businesses in London have really stepped up to help us with amazing donations for people to bid on and we’re so thankful. So far this year our food bank has provided the equivalent of more than 311,000 meals – that’s 30% more than the year before. The funds raised at this auction will help us provide emergency food parcels and caseworker support to help people address the root causes of poverty. We’re hoping to turn a night out into a lifeline. Every £100 raised in this auction will provide 54 meals for people experiencing extreme hardship.”
